This is as good a place as any to ask a general MR Forum question. In the initial msg I keep forgetting to thank moderators or admins who do things for me like move or delete a post, delete a thread I started in which I suddenly realize my OP contains huge embarrassing blunders, etc. Is there any way to figure out who to thank using a private msg later when I remember I forgot to thank them initially? Would they welcome such a thanx or would it be a hassle to them?

You can simply click on "Report Post" to thank all the moderators. Generally we know who did what, and even if we don't, the one who actually did the work will know. In any case, it's always appreciated, but not necessary.

Hey, it's the only pay we get (thanks), so it's like gold bullion to us, but easier to carry. Unfortunately it can't be converted into teeth caps or oversized neck chains, but I tuck them all in my heart, blinging my ventricles with cheer when cheer is in short supply.

Which is to say, no it's certainly no hassle. It's way super appreciated to eleventy-out-of-ten happy points.

And if you call that thread you wanted deleted a "huge embarrassing blunder" then allow me to introduce to you my hilarious joke about unreliable mail service told to a customer who happened to be the the Manager of the largest mail distribution centre in Oz (and I already knew that, because it was written on his form).

Could not agree more with unboggling's post. I'm a new guy here too and it is so obvious MR is a special place online not only because of the members but also because the mods work hard to keep things fun and engaging all while keeping the inevitable squabbles to a minimum.
